This Third Edition is thoroughly updated and expanded to incorporate significant advances in our understanding of environmental factors, biological interactions, and ecosystem processes, and how these vary with hydrological, geomorphological, and landscape setting. The broad diversity of running waters ? from torrential mountain brooks, to large, lowland rivers, to great river systems whose basins occupy sub-continents ? makes river ecosystems appear overwhelming complex. A central theme of this book is that although the settings are often unique, the processes at work in running waters are general and increasingly well understood. Even as our scientific understanding of stream ecosystems rapidly advances, the pressures arising from diverse humanactivities continue to threaten the health of rivers worldwide. This book presents vital new findings concerning human impacts, and the advances in pollution control, flow management, restoration, and conservation planning that point to practical solutions. Reviews of the first edition: ".. an unusually lucid and judicious reassessment of the state of stream ecology" Science Magazine "..provides an excellent introduction to the area for advanced undergraduates and graduate students?" Limnology & Oceanography "? a valuable reference for all those interested in the ecology of running waters." . 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aFreshwater ecology 606 $aMarine ecology 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aFreshwater and Marine Ecology 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aFreshwater ecology. 615 0$aMarine ecology. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aFreshwater and Marine Ecology. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a577.64 676 $a577.64 700 $aAllan$b J.
